As previous international woodpecker conferences since 1989, the current one aims to bring together woodpecker researchers from across the gloBe and to provide an international forum for discussion on how woodpecker research may improve our understanding of Behavior, ecology and conservation sciences. The title of the conference „Conservation & Ecology of Woodpeckers” was chosen to underline that woodpeckers, as a group, are specialized Birds that need protection of their habitats – even more so today with the ongoing, and in parts of the worlds intensifying, use and destruction of forests. Accordingly, we are very happy about the interest that this conference has raised among researchers and conservationists interested in woodpeckers and forests. As a consequence, we will Be aBle to enjoy a fantastic array of talks and posters on diverse topics, so that each of c. 110 participants representing 20 countries is expected to Benefit from this conference. The conference follows the path of previous scientific meetings on woodpeckers organized By the Special Interest Group Woodpeckers https://www.fachgruppe-spechte.de/ of the German Ornithologists’ Society (Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft - DO-G http://www.do-g.de/), which launched the initiative also for this meeting. The conference has mainly Been organized By Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities, the Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Science and the Special Interest Group Woodpeckers of the German Ornithologists’ Society. These three organizations have worked in partnership to generate a pleasant atmosphere that hopefully leads to fruitful exchange of information on this fascinating avian group. The Białowieża National Park and the German Ornithologists’ Society DO-G are organizations supporting the conference. The Białowieża Forest is the Best preserved lowland forest of the 3 8th International Woodpecker Conference, March 16 - 20, 2019, Białowieża, Poland Book of Abstracts, edited by Dorota Czeszczewik and Gilberto Pasinelli temperate zone in the northern hemisphere. Protected for centuries as royal hunting grounds, it survived almost unchanged until World War I, when its exploitation started and many fragments of the Forest lost their natural character. Nevertheless, one can still admire primeval stands in the Białowieża National Park and in nature reserves, as well as many natural fragments of old-growth stands outside these protected areas. The diverse fauna of the Białowieża Forest consists of intermediate faunal elements from Central, Northern and Eastern Europe, including the European Bison. At the turn from winter to spring, these mammals often feed on meadows near the village. Białowieża is also known as paradise for birdwatchers. So far, c. 250 species of Birds were recorded, including all European woodpeckers, 11 species of owls and over a dozen other Birds of prey. Although in March it will not be possible to see the majority of bird migrants, there is a good chance to oBserve most woodpecker species. Mid-March is a time of significant activity of the White-backed Woodpecker. Many people have helped to organize this conference, and we thank everyone for their support. We are also very grateful for the financial support provided By the German Ornithologists’ Society DO-G and for organizational help of the Białowieża National Park. Without all this help and support, we would not have met in Białowieża. Last, But not least, we thank Altafilm GmBH allowing us to enjoy one of their wonderful movies. We warmly welcome you at the 8th International Woodpecker Conference; enjoy the visit in the Białowieża Forest and its beauty.

We made our way outside the terminal where we were met by Gabor and his wife Andrea and our driver Misci. After loading up the van, we headed south away from the airport where we saw our first Magpies , Hooded Crows, Barn Swallows, Northern Lapwings, and Rooks. Our first birding stop was at Osca, a protected forest just ½ hour away which we soon nicknamed ‘mosquito forest’ and after a quick snack we walked This Black Woodpecker gave us superb along a track through the woodland and found several Chaffinch , views in the Mosquito forest Chiffchaffs, and a Spotted Flycatcher . A Collared Flycatcher fluttering around a nest hole showed well and a Great Spotted Woodpecker flew in allowing good views. Julie spotted a Short- toed Treecreeper working up a trunk in a wet area but the bird moved too quickly for some of us to catch up with.

Poland in particular is beautiful this time of year, especially where we visited on this tour; the extensive Biebrza Marshes, and some of the last remaining old-growth forest left in Europe, the primeval forests of Bialowieski National Park, on the border with Belarus. Our tour this year was highly successfully, recording 168 species of birds along with 11 species of mammals. This includes all 10 possible Woodpecker species, many of which we found at their nest holes, using the best local knowledge possible. Local knowledge also got us on track with a nesting Boreal (Tengmalm’s) Owl, while a bit of effort yielded the tricky Eurasian Pygmy-Owl and the trickier Hazel Grouse. We also found 11 species of raptors on this tour, and we even timed it to the day that the technicolored European Bee-eaters arrived back to their breeding grounds. A magical evening was spent watching the display of the rare Great Snipe in the setting sun, with Common Snipe “winnowing” all around and the sounds of breeding Common Redshank and Black-tailed Godwits.

    (Dendrocopos Syriacus) and Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocoptes Medius) Around Yasouj City in Southwestern Iran

    Archive of SID Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics (IJAB) Vol.15, No.1, 99-105, 2019 ISSN: 1735-434X (print); 2423-4222 (online) DOI: 10.22067/ijab.v15i1.81230 Comparison of nest holes between Syrian Woodpecker (Dendrocopos syriacus) and Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocoptes medius) around Yasouj city in Southwestern Iran Mohamadian, F., Shafaeipour, A.* and Fathinia, B. Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Yasouj University, Yasouj, Iran (Received: 10 May 2019; Accepted: 9 October 2019) In this study, the nest-cavity characteristics of Middle Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers as well as tree characteristics (i.e. tree diameter at breast height and hole measurements) chosen by each species were analyzed. Our results show that vertical entrance diameter, chamber vertical depth, chamber horizontal depth, area of entrance and cavity volume were significantly different between Syrian Woodpecker and Middle Spotted Woodpecker (P < 0.05). The average tree diameter at breast height and nest height between the two species was not significantly different (P > 0.05). For both species, the tree diameter at breast height and nest height did not significantly correlate. The directions of nests’ entrances were different in the two species, not showing a preferentially selected direction. These two species chose different habitats with different tree coverings, which can reduce the competition between the two species over selecting a tree for hole excavation. Key words: competition, dimensions, nest-cavity, primary hole nesters. INTRODUCTION Woodpeckers (Picidae) are considered as important excavator species by providing cavities and holes to many other hole-nesting species (Cockle et al., 2011). An important part of habitat selection in bird species is where to choose a suitable nest-site (Hilden, 1965; Stauffer & Best, 1982; Cody, 1985).

    Periodic and Transient Motions of Large Woodpeckers Michael D

    www.nature.com/scientificreports Correction: Publisher Correction OPEN Periodic and transient motions of large woodpeckers Michael D. Collins Two types of periodic and transient motions of large woodpeckers are considered. A drumming Received: 3 July 2017 woodpecker may be modeled as a harmonic oscillator with a periodic forcing function. The transient Accepted: 12 September 2017 behavior that occurs after the forcing is turned of suggests that the double knocks of Campephilus Published: xx xx xxxx woodpeckers may be modeled in terms of a harmonic oscillator with an impulsive forcing, and this hypothesis is consistent with audio and video recordings. Wingbeats are another type of periodic and transient motion of large woodpeckers. A model for the fap rate in cruising fight is applied to the Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) and the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis). During a brief transient just after taking of, the wing motion and fap rate of a large woodpecker may not be the same as in cruising fight. These concepts are relevant to videos that contain evidence for the persistence of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Drumming and wingbeats are two types of periodic motion of large woodpeckers. Tis paper discusses these behaviors and related transient motions that occur in evidence for the persistence of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis)1–3. Most woodpeckers signal by drumming, which consists of a rapid series of blows with the bill. Audio S1 contains four drumming events by nearby and distant Pileated Woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus). Some members of the Campephilus genus do not engage in this type of drumming but instead signal with double knocks.

There were airport shuttles and getting situated in the two lodges, Crooked Tree and Beck’s, which were just over a mile apart. Some of the earlier arrivals had a little time to bird the grounds of their lodge. Crooked Tree Village is a small area, NW of Belize City, about 45 minutes by car. The residents rely on tourism, as well as fishing and farming, for their livelihood. Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1984 and is run by Audubon. It encompasses around 25 square miles of government-sanctioned land, including freshwater lagoons, savannah, and broadleaf and pine woods. Some of the birds seen right on the grounds for the early arrivals were Black- cowled Oriole, Red-lored Parrot, and Lineated Woodpecker. There were two airport shuttles to pick up the various arrivals, and at 6:30 PM we all met as a group in the dining room at Beck’s for a meal of coconut curry fish, herbed chicken, and rice and beans. Hearty and delicious! Most were tired from a long travel day and, knowing about the early departure the next morning, we all went off to our lodges and were soon tucked in.
